'Its easy money, right up until the time you've got to earn it...'

These were the words which convinced Brian Cole to accept an invitation to join his colleague as a club bouncer to a local night club at the age of nineteen.

For ten years Brian Cole has worked within London's vast and violent leisure industry. Now in The Peace Commission he tells his story for the first time.

With his first job, minding a pub in Bethnal Green, London, Brian Cole become familiar with the harsh realities of life on the door. For years after, he lived to protect other people's investments - with a constant willingness to risk all for his close friends.

The Peace Commission is a hard-hitting catalog of tales about the men and women who fend off mindless violence nightly whilst incorporating an interesting sociological perspective of recent changes that have taken place within the industry of door security in the United Kingdom.
